Terrible, negative way to end the season….I mean, surely we should be going out spending millions and paying players £75K+ a week and winning the FA cup and then playing top European clubs at home…..after all some our fans will have seen what Pompey have done in the past
Obviously, we wont worry about not having a club to support until the time comes, then of course that will be Whelan’s fault
If we lose players and don’t spend on replacements, we will end up relegated, just need to be sensible about how much is spent, let’s hope the players that we want to offload bring in some revenue.
I will be but I feel there will be more empty seats next season as the novelty has all but gone now ! Obviously 3 or 4 games will attract the plastics but on the whole I would hazard a guess at an average home gate in the region of 17000 !
Some of our best buys have been on the cheap. We don’t need to spend huge money to get good players.
I don’t think championship players are the way to go unless we want to play in the championship. With the amount of games to watch on the internet you can do a lot of good overseas scouting prep from your own home.
Its probably a good thing the budget is low because that means we need to sell to buy. We have too many mediocre players which we need to offload.
Well;l ive stated that after reading the Pompey report i would change my views on Whelan and i stick by it. I hope the scouts have been out in force across the world and we get some good cheapo foreigners. I think Bobby may have learned his lesson with gambling on championship players. Hope so anyway

Last season there was huge upheval at the club, not to mention the country itself was in a recesion.
On the field Martinez was learning the job, trying to fashion a team from the scraps he’d been left with, while off it we were reactionary rather than proactive. It took until January until we began to look and act like a Premiership club.
Reading what Martinez and Whelan are saying, hearing about whats planned regarding season tickets, marketing etc., we seem to be far better prepared for the coming season.

Any information regarding the season tickets and marketing No1
Theres going to be new family and U21 season tickets, the family tickets in particular are meant to be very good value. They’re considering some themed matches, but most important of all they now have a better idea of what marketing and offers work best.
When I hear of WAFC marketing ideas the words polish, cant and t u r d spring to mind !! 17000 is a realistic figure for next seasons average gate. In fact I am being slightly generous at that figure !!
